The Perpetual Gun Control Thread

So easy to use, too! And can shoot 3 arrows a second, right?

You don’t need to shoot 3 arrows per second. One or two people who know what their doing could easily kill a handful with them.

So in other words you don’t care about people being killed, you are just anti-gun. As I’ve said already guns or no guns, people will still find ways to murder.

aren't you precious

Wow I was about to ask you the same thing....

Think they could get 50? 40? 30? 20? 10? 5? before being shot and kill or just tackled while "reloading"?

This seems to be accurate, your argument here is murdering my IQ.

Why do you care, you’re just anti-gun.

too bad you were busy typing nonsense and missed the opportunity.

Too bad you’re too ignorant to know what’s right and what’s wrong. Like I said go do something about it yourself.

i do know enough to know when i should and should not take people seriously. and i do vote against people who think like you, so i guess that's something.

Yeah, right. Lets replace firearms in the military with bows and arrows and save a heck of a lot of money.

Wow what a great idea. I’ll pass it on to Washington. [emoji849]

don't forget the Shiv's those are exactly the same as guns remember

Pencils are deadly, too. Didn't you see John Wick?

What drives me crazy is how the narrative is spun that there is this huge threat from mass shootings when they account for less than 0.5% of the victims that are killed annually by guns.

You are more than 100 times more likely to be killed by a handgun in an isolated incident.

You are more than 1000 times more likely to be killed in a traffic accident.

Overdoses account for more than 4 times the people killed per year than all the homicides of any type combined.

Over 50 million students enrolled k-12 per year in the US. If we count all the kids/teachers impacted by a mass shooting event @ + 1000 (even though less than 1% of those would be injured directly), then we get 0.00002% of kids will be impacted.

If you actually want to save lives, fix the horses first and then worry about the zebra.

I don’t understand this argument either. Why is it wrong to address a problem just because another larger problem exists?

 

[92tide]

part of that is because there is zero interest in dealing with the problem. this conveniently changes the subject.

In football, would you spend 99% of each practice session going over only guarding against a fake field goal attempt (somewhat similar %s)? It's not wrong at all to address it, its just that this is a tiny mole hill. I said in my original post, "If you actually want to save lives," but perhaps I should have worded it "If you want to save the most lives".

Resources are finite so I find it absurd to spend an inordinate amount of them on such a fractional % of a "problem" when there are 1,000,000's of poor, homeless, addicted people in this country alone that could be greatly benefited by these resources.

No one is spending 99% of the time addressing mass shootings. I run a business. While problems have to be prioritized, all problems must be addressed.

This is is definitely not a mole hill. As of September 1, there has been more than one mass shooting per day in 2019.

Saying we’re going to ignore this issue because there are bigger fish to fry is the worst thing we could possibly do.
